$25, 5 stars, 92 points, chianti classico, gran selezione, Italy, sangiovese
Pale to medium garnet colored with copper highlights, and a medium viscosity (14% ABV). The nose has medium intensity aromas of red cherry, pomegranate, rhubarb, baking spice, olive tapenade, and a green stalk note (thyme?). The palate is dry with medium (+) acidity, a medium body and medium (+) tannins. Flavors of red cherry, pomegranate, thyme, dried leather, rhubarb, and some baking spice. The finish is zippy with some acidity that lingers. Fruit length is medium and red in nature with some slight astringency right at the end. It’s a very delicious and food-worthy wine that gets 92 points from me. I would drink this $25 effort till 2030 with Bolognese all day long. 5 stars. Salut….
